SECOND DISTRICT,
May 10, 1887. !

t. no Eiaor ~ me Register.
Now that the Legislature has adjourned
with such satisfactory results, the smoke
Of the recent battle passed away, and both
Caucus Democrats" and 'Kickers' are
once more reunited within the fold of a
common party, engaged in support of a
common cause, no time should be lost IN
placing the political cdifice which has
shattered Us all in order, and preparing
for the contest of lS~~, which will be the
decisive one in the history of American
politics
To this end hope may be permitted
to make the following suggestions:
First-That the State Executive Com
mittee hold an early meeting, ut some con-
venient point, and reorganize upon a sys-
tematic and aggressive basis.
Secondly-In smuch as that Col. Leon
ard, Chairman, and Mr.. Holmes, the mem
Der from Senator Faulkner'S home district,
are Federal office holders and, rs such,
prevented from taking an active part in tho
management OF political campaigns, that
the former resign the Craftsmanship and
the latter his place OH the Committee, and
Thirdly-That Senator Faulkner be elect
cd to the Holmes vacancy and made Chair
man Of the Committee.
These suggestions if carried out, would
enable the committee to get to work at
once, and place the organization in the
hands OF the best equipped party organizer
in the State: in addition it would set At
rest Tor all time the ScnseleSS chatter
which has gone abroad, and is being tossed
about over the country through the med
ium Of the foreign press, that West Nir-
giuia occupies a dehatable place in the
column of Democratic States. NNN.

RoMNEY,s MURDER.
The Trial of Ann Offner for the Murder of
Benjamin Brookes.
NJ. A. D~,fy


RoMNEY, w. VA, May 1.-THE Circuit
Court meets here to-day, Judge Armstrong
presiding. The most prominent case set
for this term is the trial of Ann Offner for
the murder of Benz. BrOOkes, last August.
Our community had hardly recovered from
the horror and indignation excited by the
murder of Frank Beatwol by the negro
John Owen, on the Doth of the April pre-
ceding, when the almost rural quiet of our
village was disturbed by the news that a
murder had been committed within three
miles of town on that beautiful Sunday
morning, August 1. The scene was the
last in a romance of illicit love. On that
morning she had ridden out from her home
to look after her fathers COWS, when,
meeting the man Brookes, without wit
nesses, and out of sight of any usually fire.
auented place, she shot him through the
head, and returned home, telling that she
had killed him. The officers of the law
were soon in possession of the facts so far
as known, and went to view the body.
She claims TO have committed the crime in
self-defense. She is unmarried, has child
about eight years old, and is about twenty
seven OF eight years of age. Her parents
are good old people in humble circum-
stances, and have the sympathy of the
community. The murdered man was from
the Shenandoah valley, believe.

The New York TiEcS says: ~ deputa-
ton OF men employed by COOPER, HEWITT
& Co. waited upon Mayor HEWITT the
other day to secure some changes in the
regulations of the firm. 1t appears by q
dispatch from Trenton that the Mayor sur
prised the men by offering them the works,
rent free, and enough money to run them
with, provided only he be secured lawful
interest on the sum so advanced. The
mill last year lost its owners $50, 900. The
workmen are thinking of accepting this
offer. II they accept they will probably
learn good deal, whether or not they
succeed in making as good wages as they
have made heretofore. After they have
managed the mill for q few months, when
a demagOgue tells them how labor Is
ground under the iron heel Of capital, and
how much worse the condition of the
American workiugman is than was that OF
the slaves and serfs of the past, they will
know more accurately than they do now
what nonsense he is talking
This is one of the largest iron mills IN
country, and the experiment would be OF
great value, as an educator.

RIA.

WHAT Is LAW FOR UTAH Is LAW
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUM
BIA.
The Attorney of the District Of COlum-
bia has at last found out that the District
is territory under the jurisdiction OF the
United States and that the same laws in
regard to polygamy, adultery and like Of
fenses apply there as in Utah and other
western territories. He is beginning the
work Of enforcing them to the improve
ment of the city's morals.
The laws that have been passed in the
last four or five years are almost draconIan
in their severity, and when voted for by
Congress were expected to be applied
among the pOlygamous Mormons. But II
it is worth while to have severe penalties
against crime in one section Of the Union,
the same penalties ought TO hold in other
sections. And if the laws are enforced in one
Territory there is lust rs much reason Why
they should be enforced in another. There
is indeed more reason why the laws should
be enforced in Washington than elsewhere
The National Capital should be model OF
morality and obedience to law. Then, too,
if Eastern cities would pluck the beams
out Of their own eyes, they might the more
conscientiously and effectively pluck out
the lecherous notes that are darkening the
eyes Of such places rs Salt Lake City.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE ENEC-
UTIVE COMMITTEE.

lAN T NNh VI LIE
Our Second District letter this morning
advises an early meeting OF the Democratic
State Executive Committee; the resigna-
ton Of MeSsrs. LEONARD and HOLMES,
members of the committee, on the ground
that they are Federal oiiceholdcrS, and the
appointment OF Senator FAUIENEE in Mr..
HOLMES place and his election to the
craftsmanship.
All of these suggestions we regard "a
good. We mean no disrcSpect to McsSrS.
LEovArD aud HOLMES. Though Mr..
LEONARD il not Federal aPpointee, yet
his connection with District Attorney
WATTS makes him 50 regarded by many.
However much theymay desire TO organize
the party and keep it in fighting trim,
their duties As Federal officers will pre-
vent them from giving the party the at
tentiOn it deserves. And then the Dem
ocratic Administration has an an
tipathy against Federal appOmteeS TAX
ing active part in politics. They might
become offensive partiSans." The same
suggestion applies to Hon. JOS S. MILLER,
the member of the committee from the
First Senatorial District. Mr.. MILLER Is
scarcely ever in the State and can give
little OF no attention to organizing the
party. We are reliably informed that MIR.
MILLER intends to resign, and we would
suggest that he take the initiative, rs there
is no time to lose.
What the State Democracy needs is a
member of the Executive Committee in
every Senatorial District, who can be on
the ground all the time and is free to CO.
operate with the other members Of the
committee in conducting an aggressive
campaign,
The suggestion that Senator FAULKNER
he Chairman of the Committee, is, we be
Iieve an excellent one. Mr.. FAULKNER
has the reputation Of being one Of the best
organizers in the State, and he would
MARSHALL out the Democratic forces in a
way that would make the Republicans
dizzy. Organization can not begin too
soon. The party wants to be fighting.

Report OF Fort Woreh's Woman's Benev-
8 easats association from September ID to
6ctUb rI3.
The ladies of the W0man's Christian
Temperance Union in presenting to the
loved and honored citizens of Fort Worth
their arst monthly report Of the work OF
Woman's Benevolent Association, ex-
perience mingled feelings Of delight and
satisfaction at the success with which
their work has been crowned; believing
and feeling assured that they have the
support and encouragement Of every true
hearted and philsnthropic lover of human
ity. a few Christian ladies IN this city
seeing the great need Of concert OF
action in benevolent work, although in
great weakness, but strong in faith,
formed this organization, believing that
in union there is strength, and that
through united effort, they might the
more effectuelly reach the poor and
saeedy. The object of this association is
not only TO relieve but to elevate those
TO whom it extends helping hand and
TO strengthen and fortify them in the true
principle of helping themselves.
HeAkstass wisely help the poor is the
great and vexed problem OF the world,
clsmoring for solution from the lakes to
the gulf, from ocean to ocean, taxing the
minds both of statesmen and philanthropy
lists.
When we merely supply the animal
need OF the passing hour and neglect to
elevate and arouse the manhood diyinely
implanted in every human heart, we emily
encourage p.uperism.
This organization seeks TO arouse. ele-
vate and surround with Christian infiu-
ence the INDECENT and needy who seek
from them succor and assistance, to
pour into the bruised and broken hearted
the Gil and wine, and to break the 6labas-
ter box OF ointment over the neglected,
homeless Waif OF the street. "Tne poor
ye have always with you, and when We
will ye may do them good" i firmly be-
heves that in protecting the homeless,
uncared for child OF degradation and pow
erty, it is helping to eliminate the grees
evil that is to-day threatening tor pollute
and destroy our body polite. Moved and
inspired by this great thought q helpful
ness, the ladies of Fort WORTH pro-
ftred building on Main street and
Eeepafated it into FIVE divisions, wish
Fthree departments Of work. One of lhe
| front rooms on Main street is used ses q
reading room, and the other as coffee
end lunch room for ladies and gentlemen
Tae rooms in the center OF the buildiAE
are arranged for Office work and priysss
rooms, and for the ladies connected with
the institution; also kitchen for the Gu
linsry department. TIE room in the rear

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Oct. 10-Msjor P.
R. Bailey OF Sheldon, O'Brien county,
who is attorney for settlers on disputed
lands in that county, wes in the city to-
day, and being interviewed by the Inter
Ocean correspondent in regard to
the sensational reports from Washington
about the evictions of settlers by
SD English syndicate, Major Bailey said:
"The Close brothers, VINO have organ
lied as the Northwestern Lind Company,
bought the Milwaukee compsny's lands
in O'Brien county. The lands were in
controversy between the Milwaukee and
the old Sioux City and st. Paul Company.
The Federal court divided the lands be-
tween the two companies. Governor
Larrahee, acting on the advice of Attor-
nsy-General Baker, patented the lands
which the Federal court had given to the
Milwaukee company. There is no
adverse title TO these lands, but
khe lands given by the Federal
scenrt to the Sioux City and st. Paul
Company have not been patented to that
company, nor have any settlers on the
Sioux City lands been elected. Suits on
